To the Cameron family,

My condolences to you all

Pat was a wonderful person and great soul.

“We grieve because we love. The intensity of the grief often proclaims the depth of our love.”

- Gary Roe

I am so sorry that I can't be there with you today, I have to work with the students at Seton Villa.  I loved meeting Pat while she was at Seton.  Even if she wasn't looking for a massage she would stop by just to chat.  I'm really going to miss those conversations and the stories she would tell.  I loved hearing her talk about how proud she was of her kids and her stories of old Burnaby.  Rest in Power dear lady.

Doug, Dee and families,

Pat had a heart of gold.  Both she and Johnny were very good to me when I lived in Vancouver.  While growing up I always looked forward to your  visits to Trail and our visits to Vancouver.  

She was a wonderful cousin and I loved sharing stories with her about life as a student nurse at the Vancouver General as well as nursing in general.   And of course she and your dad attended my nursing graduation which thrilled me as she was also a VGH grad.  

She was extremely well travelled and I very much enjoyed hearing about her world adventures as she did about my own.  We also enjoyed talks about skiing though I think she thought I was a bit crazy going in to the back country.   She also took the time to make some beautiful copies of family photos for me which I will treasure forever. 

Your mom was a special lady and I am thinking about you at this time of deep family sorrow.
